A Learning Experience Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

Classes are larger than the tiny ones at Middlebury, and the professors aren't too interested in establishing the kinds of relationships we have with ours at home, but all of mine were super friends and helpful and willing to meet one-on-one if you went out of your way to ask

On-site administration of your program

Trinity Administration is kind of a mess--every department does their own things and sign up for classes is still done by paper and you have run around collecting signatures, which can be stressful--but it all works out in the end

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

I had a single with my own bathroom in a lovely little house right on campus.

I had to buy my own pots and pans, which can get a little expensive, and then leave them there because I didn't have room to take them back with me.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

Dublin is lovely, but I found it super difficult to break into the student culture there.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

I had to have blood drawn. It wasn't a problem to get it done and the nurses were so lovely, but I'm still not sure if they ever got the lab results back to my home doctor.

I always felt so comfortable in Dublin--even late at night, walking alone--the streets are big and there are lights and there are always people around.

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)

Going to Trinity was far cheaper than attending Middlebury.
